Chapter 512 How Many Years Do You Think You Have Left?

"Why don't you go and take a look first, then we can talk about this!" Chen Yu said with a gentle smile.

"I will. The National People's Congress is coming up soon. Are you ready?!" the old man asked. Even if Chen Yu didn't come to him, he would still go to find Chen Yu, mainly because the National People's Congress is about to be held every year. Last time, Chen Yu's speech was very impressive and powerful.

"No, I don't have time. I've been busy with this and that. The second season of 'iPartment' is about to start filming, and I have other work to do. Besides, I don't plan to attend the National People's Congress this year!" Chen Yu shook his head slightly.

The issue raised at a National People's Congress last year has yet to be fully resolved. Initially, the government's response was relatively good, but after five or six months, problems began to arise in the areas under official responsibility. This left Chen Yu feeling helpless and, more than anything, disappointed.

"Does the people's livelihood seem more important than your TV drama production?!" The old man was displeased upon hearing this. His philosophy was to serve the people, while Chen Yu was not serving the people and was instead making TV dramas, which he considered neglecting his duties.

"It's not a matter of whether it's important or not, why do some things need to be said?! What changes have occurred since the topics I discussed last year?! Going there would be pointless, not only wasting words, but also time and emotions."

"It's pointless. I'd rather make a film that makes people laugh. At least I made them happy," Chen Yu sighed.

"What do you mean?!" The old man frowned and looked at Chen Yu, asking.

"This is pointless. Alright, I don't want to talk about this anymore. I'll tell you some news, but it's just an estimate, and I have no evidence. Believe it or not, it's up to you!" Chen Yu took a deep breath and then said.

"What?!" The old man didn't press further. He knew Chen Yu's personality; if the other party didn't want to talk, he definitely wouldn't. Forcing him would only make things awkward for both of them.

Most importantly, the old man had already secretly understood Chen Yu's meaning.

He was determined to have a proper discussion about these matters, as he planned to extract even more benefits from Chen Yu!

At this moment, he became interested in the message that Chen Yu was preparing to give him.

Uncertainty, belief or disbelief—this wasn't the first time Chen Yu had said this, but every time, something big happened.

"Based on data calculations, a major earthquake may occur in our country in the near future!" Chen Yu said.

"A major earthquake?! When? What exactly happened?!" The old man was stunned by this. He remembered that the last one was a major snow disaster, but this time a major earthquake had suddenly appeared.

He dared not doubt it; it had already been proven last time. Most importantly, snowstorms and earthquakes are not comparable.

One is a chronic disaster, while the other is a sudden, devastating one—annihilation in an instant.

"Recent data suggests that a major earthquake is likely to occur sometime between April and June. I don't know the exact date or how to calculate it, as you know earthquakes are very difficult to predict. I can only say that our data indicates a major earthquake is likely, and we have calculated its approximate location."

According to our data monitoring and calculations, we found that the Indian Ocean Plate is moving northward at a rate of about 15 cm per year, which puts pressure on the Eurasian Plate and causes the Tibetan Plateau to rise rapidly.

However, due to the influence of gravity, the eastern side of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau along the Longmen Mountains is gradually sinking, and it faces the stubborn obstruction of the Sichuan Basin, resulting in the long-term accumulation of tectonic stress energy.

According to our data calculations, we've reached a peak and are about to reach our breaking point. Our calculations indicate this period will last from April to June. We can't do more detailed calculations because the workload is too immense,” Chen Yu sighed.

Although he really wanted to say it was May 12th, he couldn't, because Xiaoyou had told him that he absolutely couldn't say it out loud. Once he did, it would trigger a butterfly effect, and no one knew what would happen in the end.

According to Xiaoyou's communication with the system, Chen Yu must keep the timeframe at more than 3 months.

The last major snow disaster had already caused some minor problems, but they were corrected in time.

As for why? Who made the change?!

Xiao You didn't give an explanation, but Chen Yu wasn't angry about it. It was reasonable; how could he possibly tell him something like that?

However, Chen Yu guessed that it should be a kind of rule called the operation of the universe, but they just couldn't recognize this rule.

Just like the orbits of planets, these are the rules of the universe.

As for why these rules exist and who set them, no one can explain it clearly.

"Isn't there a way to calculate more detailed data?! And the place you mentioned is Sichuan Province?!" The old man was getting anxious.

"There's nothing we can do. I don't know if it's Sichuan Province, but based on its geographical location, Sichuan Province is definitely within the affected area! As for the rest, we can't calculate it. This earthquake was very insidious, and geology is too profound. Our human technology can only provide a partial understanding."

Actually, they didn't want me to say it because of this incident! Chen Yu sighed, preparing to put more pressure on the old man.

"What do you mean?!" The old man frowned even more, and his tone changed as he looked at Chen Yu.

"It doesn't mean anything. I'm telling you this because I can't bear to, but although China has developed very quickly in recent years, its moral standards haven't kept up. This imbalance has created many stains on our country. Perhaps you think this is inevitable, after all, if the water is too clear, there will be no fish, and if the forest is too big, there will be all kinds of birds."

But in their view, while the forest has been cleared, the fruit has increased, but so have the bad birds. Most importantly, there has been more corruption.

When I talked to them, they asked me, "How many years from now do you think elementary school students will all be doing things for money? There's nothing money can't buy. It's like when teachers assign class monitors to supervise students memorizing texts; the monitors use their power to pay five yuan per person—pay them and they'll pass."

"I don't know how to answer, old man, tell me how many years?!" Chen Yu looked at the old man and said softly.

The old man was stunned by Chen Yu's question.

He had never thought about it.

Is this a problem?!

To the average person, this might not seem like a problem, but he understood it was a problem—a national-level problem. When money talks, who cares about following the rules?! China is a socialist society, not a capitalist one; even capitalist countries wouldn't allow such a thing to exist.

Those are just innocent children; they shouldn't be treated like this.

However, parents are the closest teachers to their children, and their every word and action influences them.

It's normal for adults to understand the principle of getting things done for money, but the problem is when this becomes the mindset that everything can be done for money. That's not normal.
